HAME.

EEPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,063, dated March17, 1885.

Application filed January 6, 18 (N m del.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Beit known that I,NICHOLAS G. SOHWALEN, ofMinneapolis, in the county ofHennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in I-Iames, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

The invention consists of the construction, arrangement, and combinationof parts, all as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bame constructed in accordance with myinvention, showing a part of the hanie-tug. Fig. 2 is an edge view ofthe same.

I provide the halne A with an adjustingscrew, B. This screw B is used inconnection with the rod D, to which the trace 0 is directly attached,for by this arrangement no material strain or draft will come upon thescrew B to bend, wear, or otherwise injure it.

Upon the screw B and rod D, I place the adjusting device E, that isscrew-tapped to match the screw-threads of the screw-rod B, so that byturning the screw-rod B to the right or left the device E will be raisedor lowered according to the direction the screw B is turned. In thisinstance the device E is divided to form the arms a a, that straddle thetrace 0, so that any up or down movement of the deviceE will raiseorlower the trace upon the rod D.

To prevent wear of the rod D, I place loosely thereon the sleeve 0,around which the trace is placed. At its upper end the hame is providedwith the plateF, that carries the loop G. The plate F is held to thehame by 0 the screws (1 d, that pass through slots (1' d in the plate F,so that by loosening the screws d the plate F may be adjusted to raiseor lower the loop G to suit the size of the collar and the position atwhich the trace 0 is held by the screw B. The outer surface of the plateF is notched or serrated, as shown at f, and upon the screws (2 areplaced the notched or serrated plates 9, which, when the screwsd arescrewed down, engage with the plate F v and hold it firmly in place uponthe hame.

The screw B is journaled in the eye-plates h h, secured to the hame, andit is made square at one end, so that it may be easily turned with awrench for adjusting the trace up or down, and the rod D in this instanre is held in the plates 11 71.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. The hame provided with the screw B, rod D, andadjusting device E, arranged upon the screw and rod, substantially asand for the NICHOLAS G. SOHWALEN.
